¹Pea pehē, kuo mau māvae mo kinautolu, pea mau folau, ʻo mau lā taha ki Kusa, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Lota, pea mei ai ki Patala:

²Pea ʻi heʻemau ʻilo ʻae vaka ʻoku folau ki Finesi, naʻa mau heka ai, ʻo ʻalu.

³Pea ʻi heʻemau kite ki Saipalo, naʻa mau tuku ia ki he toʻohema, kae folau ki Silia, pea mau tūʻuta ki Taia: he ko e potu ia ke hifo ai ʻae uta ʻae vaka.

⁴Pea naʻa mau ʻilo ai ʻae kau ākonga, pea mau nonofo ʻo ʻaho fitu: pea naʻa nau pehē kia Paula ʻi he Laumālie, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema.

⁵Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻa mau ʻalu ʻo fononga ʻi homau hala; pea naʻe moimoiʻi ʻakimautolu ki he tuaʻā kolo ʻekinautolu kotoa pē, mo honau uaifi mo ʻenau fānau: pea naʻa mau tuʻulutui ʻi he matātahi, ʻo lotu.

⁶Pea kuo mau māvae mo kinautolu, pea mau heka ki vaka; kae foki ʻakinautolu ki honau ʻapi.

⁷Pea ne mau folau mei Taia ki Tolimease, pea ngata ai ʻemau folau, pea naʻa mau feʻiloaki mo e kāinga, pea mau nonofo mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.

⁸Pea pongipongi hake, ko kimautolu ʻae kau fononga ʻo Paula, naʻa mau ʻalu, ʻo aʻu atu ki Sesalia: pea mau hū ki he fale ʻo Filipe ko e ʻevangeliō, ko e tokotaha ia ʻi he toko fitu; pea naʻa mau nonofo mo ia.

⁹Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻae ʻofefine tāupoʻou ʻe toko fā, pea naʻe kikite ʻakinautolu.

¹⁰Pea ʻi heʻemau nofo ʻo ʻaho lahi ai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Siutea ʻae palōfita ʻe tokotaha, ʻoku hingoa ko ʻAkapusi.

¹¹Pea kuo haʻu ia kiate kimautolu, pea ne toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻo Paula, ʻo ne haʻi ʻaki hono nima mo hono vaʻe ʻoʻona pē, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻE pehē hono haʻisia ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi Selūsalema ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae noʻo ni, ʻonau tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe Senitaile.”

¹²Pea ko kimautolu naʻa mau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, mo kinautolu ʻoe potu ko ia, naʻa mau kole ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema.

¹³Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “Ko e hā eni ʻoku mou fai, ʻo fetāngihi ke fasi ai hoku loto? He ʻoku ou te u ke ʻoua ʻe haʻisia pē, kae mate foki ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ko e huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.”

¹⁴Pea ʻi he ʻikai tui mai ia, naʻa mau tuku, ʻo mau pehē, “Ke fai pe ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki.”

¹⁵Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mau fakamaʻopoʻopo meʻa, ʻo fononga hake ki Selūsalema.

¹⁶Pea naʻa mau ō mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau ākonga mei Sesalia, pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻakimautolu kia Nesoni mei Saipalo, ko e ākonga motuʻa, ke mau nonofo mo ia.

¹⁷Pea kuo mau ʻalu atu ki Selūsalema, naʻe maʻu fiefia ʻakimautolu ʻe he kāinga.

¹⁸Pea pongipongi hake, naʻa mau ō mo Paula kia Semisi; pea naʻe kātoa ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē.

¹⁹Pea kuo ne feʻiloaki mo kinautolu, pea ne fakamatala lahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he kakai Senitaile ʻi heʻene ngāue.

²⁰Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻEiki, mo nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vakai, ʻe kāinga, ki he ngaahi toko mano ʻoe kakai Siu ʻoku tui; pea ʻoku nau pikitai kotoa pē ki he fono:

²¹Pea kuo nau fanongo kiate koe, ʻoku ke ako ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē ʻoku feangai mo e hiteni ke nau liʻaki ʻa Mōsese, ʻo pehē, ke ʻoua ʻe kamu ʻenau tamaiki, pe muimui ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni.

²²Pea ko e hā ai ʻe fai? koeʻuhi ʻe kātoa mai ʻae fuʻu kakai: he tenau fanongo kuo ke haʻu.

²³Ko eni, ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mau tala atu kiate koe: ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fā kuo nau fai ʻae fuakava;

²⁴Pea ke ʻave ʻakinautolu, pea mou fakamaʻa mo kinautolu, pea ke totongi maʻanautolu, ka nau fafai honau ʻulu: pea ʻe ʻilo ai kotoa pē, ko e ngaahi meʻa kuo nau fanongo ai kiate koe, ko e launoa pē; ka ʻoku ke angimui koe, mo ke fai ki he fono.

²⁵Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi Senitaile ʻoku tui, kuo mau fakamaau mo tohi ke ʻoua te nau fai meʻa pehē, ka ke nau taʻofi ʻakinautolu mei he meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, mo e toto, mo e meʻa kuo sisina, pea mo e feʻauaki.”

²⁶Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe Paula ʻae kau tangata, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, ne ne fakamaʻa ia mo kinautolu, pea ne hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe fakamaʻa, kaeʻoua ke fai ha feilaulau maʻanautolu taki taha kotoa pē.

²⁷Pea kuo tei kakato ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea ko e kau Siu mei ʻEsia, ʻi heʻenau mamata kiate ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, naʻa nau ueʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo puke ia,

²⁸Mo nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata ʻIsileli, tokoni mai: Ko eni ʻae tangata, ʻoku ne ako kovi ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻi he potu fulipē ki he kakai ni, mo e fono, mo e potu ni: pea kuo ʻomi foki ʻe ia ʻae kau Kiliki ki he falelotu lahi, pea kuo ne ʻuliʻi ʻae potu tapu ni.”

²⁹(He kuo nau tomuʻa mamata kiate ia mo Talofimo mei ʻEfesō ʻi he kolo, pea naʻa nau mahalo kuo ʻomi ia ʻe Paula ki he falelotu lahi.)

³⁰Pea naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ko e feleleʻi ʻae kakai ʻo fakataha: pea naʻa nau puke ʻa Paula, mo toho ia mei he falelotu lahi: pea tāpuni leva ʻae ngaahi matapā.

³¹Pea ʻi heʻenau fai ke fakapoongi ia, naʻe haʻu hono tala ki he pule ʻoe kau tau, kuo maveuveu ʻa Selūsalema kotoa pē.

³²Pea ʻave leva ʻe ia ʻae kautau mo e kau ʻeikitau, pea nau feleleʻi hifo kiate kinautolu: pea kuo nau mamata ki he pule mo e kau tau, naʻe tuku ʻenau haha ʻa Paula.

³³Pea toki ʻalu atu ʻo ofi ʻae pule ʻoe tau, pea ne puke ia, mo ne fekau ke haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ukamea fihifihi ʻe ua; mo ne fehuʻi pe ko hai ia, pea ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo ne fai.

³⁴Pea fekalangaʻi ʻe he kakai ʻaki ʻae meʻa kehekehe: pea ʻi he ʻikai te ne faʻa ʻiloʻi hono moʻoni, ko e meʻa naʻa ne fekau ke ʻave ia ki he fale lahi ʻoe kau tau.

³⁵Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he hala ki ʻolunga, naʻe fua hake ia ʻe he kau tau, he kuo feʻohofi mai ʻae kakai.

³⁶He naʻe muimui ʻae fuʻu kakai, mo nau kalangaekina, Ke ʻave ia.

³⁷Pea ʻi he fai ke tataki ʻa Paula ki he fale lahi ʻoe kau tau, naʻa ne pehē ki he pule ʻoe kau tau, “ʻE lelei ʻeku lea atu kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae lea fakaKiliki?”

³⁸‌ʻIkai ko ʻIsipite ko ia ʻa koe, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu maveuveu ʻi muʻa, mo ne tataki ki he toafa ʻae kau tangata fakapō ʻe toko fā afe?”

³⁹Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “Ko e tangata Siu au ʻo Tasusi, ʻi Silisia, ko e tangata au ʻoe kolo ongoongo: pea ʻe, tuku ke u lea atu ki he kakai.”

⁴⁰Pea kuo ne tuku ia ke ne lea, pea tuʻu ʻa Paula ʻi he hala ki ʻolunga, ʻo ne taʻalo ʻaki hono nima ki he kakai. Pea nau fakalongo, naʻa ne lea atu ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ʻo pehē,
